The resume is a document that should be tailor made for an administrative assistant feeding into the skills that are part of the daily repertoire. Why then is it so difficult to organize all of these capabilities into a cohesive document that truly summarizes the most notable achievements? Maybe it's not what is actually on the page but how it is formatted. Are the best points buried under a ton of unnecessary rhetoric or stated clearly so the reader doesn't have to guess at the meaning.

For an administrative assistant, a one paragraph summary, written instead of a job objective can help lend credence and necessary weight to the paper without extending it to unwieldy lengths. Since the resume is a sales page designed to capture a job interview, the main focus should begin with summary section with the rest of the resume acting as underlying documentation designed to further draw the human resources person into actively reading the page. When creating a summary, keep these points in mind: who is the writer?, what is she seeking? and what are her accomplishments?

If these three questions are clearly answered, a proficient resource person will undoubtedly be captivated by both the style and content of this page. The one thing being sought here is the personal interview call, so to make this person want to call immediately before another company does should be the primary focus. By providing a content rich summary paragraph, this will naturally fall into place. Good luck!

Until next time,
